    Agreed mate.

    If LR are going to go to the trouble (and expense) of coming up with a modular system that can have all sorts of body, suspension, Lux and engine combo's they'd be nuts to not do a bit of market research and some lessons learned activities. In other words, everything including the brake size/wheel issue should be looked at too.

    18" wheels already exist for the 3.0L so why not get a branded LR selection? Better still, develop/buy more powerful, smaller brakes so that you can have lots of wheel combo's that aren't limited by the donk.

    Cheers,

    Kev.

    Whilst not a mechanical or structural back-to-basics improvement, I'd like to see LR get rid of the 'restricted performance' imposition limiting fuel to a miniscule amount when there's any sort of sensor or turbo fault and go back to allowing the engine to do what it can using default values the way the TD5 does. This would a big improvement for remote area use, albeit only in the event of such a failure. Its similar to air suspension lowering when an ABS sensor fails but at least the lowering can be overcome by other after-market means. If my D4's MAP sensor had failed in the Simpson Desert I expect it would have needed to be recovered due to its very low power and LR taking 2 weeks to get a replacement from England. I imported one myself so will have a spare when I get LR's replacement but can't have a spare everything.

    Yeah as much as I like the idea of a cheaper Sport, it doesn't look different enough from a Sport to justify existing?!
